Benefits of a Headstand

When you’re upside down on your head, your blood circulates backwards. The blood stimulates the brain and alleviates fatigue. It strengthens your core and improves circulation. If practised regularly, it can improve your posture. As long as you don’t have any injuries, glaucoma, or neck problems, it should be safe for you to practice headstands. It might be helpful to learn headstands in a yoga class, or there are plenty of youtube videos to help you get started. Take your time and build up to it if you need. It might make you feel safer to have someone around to spot you while you’re getting started.
